<h3>Most Common mistakes at interview</h3>
<table>
	<tr>
		<td>

		<p>The job interview is the make-it-or-break-it part of the job
		application process. While the resume may get you the interview, the
		interview gets you the job. You want to impress your possible employer
		so much that nobody else will be appropriate or perfect for the job.</p>
		<p>Follow our steps to make sure you ace your interview. You know
		what to do according to your personality and strengths. Here is what
		not to do in order to guarantee interview success:</p>
		<dl>
			<dt><b>Incorrect attire:</b></dt>
			<dd>Dress appropriately for the type of job interview. Always
			dress in more conservatively than you would normally. Make sure that
			you are not wearing extra bright colors, showing too much skin, or
			wearing too much jewelry (man or woman).<br />
			<br />
			</dd>
			<dt><b>Unprepared answers:</b></dt>
			<dd>You know the typical job questions, so have them prepared.
			Know ahead of time your answers to questions such as, "What are you
			strengths and weaknesses? Where do you see yourself in ten years?
			What can you bring to the company that nobody else can? What brought
			you to this part of your career?" These generalized questions will
			more than likely be asked of you on the big day.<br />
			<br />
			</dd>
			<dt><b>Unprepared questions:</b></dt>
			<dd>Just as much as must prepare the answers to give to your
			interviewer, you must also come prepared with questions to ask of the
			interviewer about the position and the company. Employers want to see
			people who think on their toes and are interested in the position as
			much as possible. Scribble down a few quick questions that you can
			ask at the appropriate time of the interview so that you are not
			trying to think on the spot of what to ask.<br />
			<br />
			</dd>
			<dt><b>Forgetting to do your research:</b></dt>
			<dd>If you are going on a job interview and know nothing about
			the company, than you are mistaken. You must learn as much as
			possible about the position and company prior to your interview.
			Therefore, you will be able to hold an intelligent and well-informed
			discussion about the company. You will also be able to ask questions
			more comprehensively.<br />
			<br />
			</dd>
			<dt><b>Sdtps of the tongue:</b></dt>
			<dd>Although this mistake is difficult to control, people often
			make them. People accidentally say the wrong thing, infer the wrong
			idea, or blurt out an insult or profanity. Any of these slips of the
			tongue can throw you out of the interview race. Concentrate on what
			you say, so that it comes out intelligibly and not incoherently.<br />
			<br />
			</dd>
			<dt><b>Ringing of cell phones:</b></dt>
			<dd>Make sure your phone is off prior to the interview. Nothing
			is ruder or more disrespectful to an interviewer than listening to
			another ring.<br />
			<br />
			</dd>
			<dt><b>Checking the time:</b></dt>
			<dd>Be careful not to glance at your watch or the wall clock in
			the middle of your interview. Perhaps you should take off your watch
			prior to the interview so that you have no chance of accidentally
			looking at your wrist.<br />
			<br />
			</dd>
			<dt><b>Asking about salary too early:</b></dt>
			<dd>While it probably one of the determining factors in your
			decision to work at a company, do not jump the gun in the interview
			to ask about salary. The interviewer will inevitably tell you what
			salary and benefits come with the job. There are so many people
			looking for jobs, so if the company sees you as someone who just
			wants the money and does not necessarily care about the job, it will
			work against you in the long run.<br />
			<br />
			</dd>
			<dt><b>Giving your demands:</b></dt>
			<dd>You are on the job interview and you are unemployed (or are
			looking to chance jobs). You are no diva. Therefore, you should never
			make demands at an interview. Even if you have reached a professional
			status that enables you to make certain demands in the workplace, the
			interview is never the place for it. They will laugh at you and more
			than likely never call you again. People want to work with
			compromising and congenial co-workers; not demanding prima donnas.<br />
			<br />
			</dd>
			<dt><b>Telling about other job offers:</b></dt>
			<dd>While you may think it appears desirable to speak about
			other companies offering you a position, it may come across as
			ridiculous in a job interview. It is important to keep matters
			separate. They may see you as someone who already has a job. Why
			would they want to give you their position if you've already got one
			somewhere else.<br />
			<br />
			</dd>
			<dt><b>Dropping too many names:</b></dt>
			<dd>Again, this "do not" is a double-edged sword. While contacts
			are vital in the job market, they can often be used for the wrong
			purposes. You do not want to be seen as someone who gets by only on
			his or her connections.<br />
			<br />
			</dd>
			<dt><b>Tardiness:</b></dt>
			<dd>Do not be late to your job interview. Rather, arrive around
			10-15 minutes early so you can settle in, fill out paperwork, and
			allow your interviewer to get ready.<br />
			<br />
			</dd>
			<dt><b>Fidgeting:</b></dt>
			<dd>While you will probably be nervous prior to and during your
			job interview, try not to fidget. It is distracting and reads
			nervousness and anxiety. No employer wants a fidgety co-worker in the
			building.<br />
			<br />
			</dd>
			<dt><strong>Lying:</strong></dt>
			<dd>While it is common to exaggerate on resumes, it is downright
			wrong to lie on them and in your job interview. Honesty is the most
			venerable quality in a worker and an employer and interviewer will
			respect your truth and honesty. Do not claim to have worked somewhere
			if you have not, and so on and so forth.<br />
			<br />
			</dd>
		</dl>
		<p>These are some of the basic mistakes that should be taken care
		of during an interview.</p>
